About Kantara Castle
Kantara Castle is a castle in Cyprus, in the area controlled by Northern Cyprus. The exact date of its construction is unknown, the most plausible theory being the Byzantine period. It combines Byzantine and Frankish architectural elements, became derelict in 1525 and was dismantled in 1560. It gave its name to the nearby Kantara Monastery.
